Venom is known to be one of Marvel's most complex characters. The actual anti-hero has had mixed reactions from fans but one thing remains a fact; the self-titled film based on his character was a hit amongst audiences.
We knew a second movie is set to premiere in 2020, but Tom Hardy, the man who plays the host to Venom, Eddie Brock, proved that it was in the works as he recently posted a photo on Instagram showing him on the set of Venom 2. However, he quickly deleted it afterward, which left fans very confused.

The alien-being acts like a virus, using humans as hosts in order to cause havoc on Earth. However, he plays the villain role in an on-and-off manner as he works to defeat forces even eviler than him.In simple words, he's an anti-hero.

Less heroic than Spider-Man and more heroic than Riot, his more "weaponized" enemy.The weirdest thing about it though is that it needs a "host."

So this extraterrestrial being can't exist without having a human outlet so he selects his victim...And nothing screams "easy target" more than a failed journalist, right?

Eddie Brock is described as a "broken man" after he loses his job. He wanted to use his writing skills to fight crime and corruption but just ended up having to re-write his resume.This is what you get for having morals in a job that requires nothing of the sort...

And now, rather than living your life in your dream job, you're out playing with a slimy-looking creature with too many teeth.Well, he didn't really have a choice, did he?

Venom kind of just forced him into it. Regardless, it made for a good storyline and those who watched the film enjoyed it a lot.Even though it received lower ratings on Rotten Tomatoes, IMDB gave it a solid 6.7 out of 10.
